ICD-9/10 Mapping Spreadsheet ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM Mappings for Audiology Related Disorders Updated 7/16/2015 Disclaimer: This product is NOT comprehensive and consists only of codes commonly related to audiology services. Mappings are only to ICD-10-CM codes, not ICD-10-PCS. Every effort was made to accurately map codes using detailed analysis. Keep in mind, however, that while many codes in ICD-9-CM map directly to codes in ICD-10, in some cases, additional clinical analysis may be required to determine which code or codes should be selected for your situation. Always review mapping results before applying them.

Here, we review and M. Castillo illustrate the most common syndromic hereditary and acquired causes of childhood SNHL, with an emphasis on entities that demonstrate inner ear abnormalities on cross-sectional imaging. Syndromes discussed include BOR syndrome, CHARGE syndrome, Pendred syndrome, Waardenburg syndrome, and X-linked hearing loss with stapes gusher. We conclude the article with a review of acquired causes of childhood SNHL, including infections, trauma, and neoplasms.

  • Vestibular Neuritis, Labyrinthitis, and a Few Comments Regarding Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Marcello Cherchi
    Vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, and a few comments regarding sudden sensorineural hearing loss Marcello Cherchi §1: What are these diseases, how are they related, and what is their cause? §1.1: What is vestibular neuritis? Vestibular neuritis, also called vestibular neuronitis, was originally described by Margaret Ruth Dix and Charles Skinner Hallpike in 1952 (Dix and Hallpike 1952). It is currently suspected to be an inflammatory-mediated insult (damage) to the balance-related nerve (vestibular nerve) between the ear and the brain that manifests with abrupt-onset, severe dizziness that lasts days to weeks, and occasionally recurs. Although vestibular neuritis is usually regarded as a process affecting the vestibular nerve itself, damage restricted to the vestibule (balance components of the inner ear) would manifest clinically in a similar way, and might be termed “vestibulitis,” although that term is seldom applied (Izraeli, Rachmel et al. 1989). Thus, distinguishing between “vestibular neuritis” (inflammation of the vestibular nerve) and “vestibulitis” (inflammation of the balance-related components of the inner ear) would be difficult. §1.2: What is labyrinthitis? Labyrinthitis is currently suspected to be due to an inflammatory-mediated insult (damage) to both the “hearing component” (the cochlea) and the “balance component” (the semicircular canals and otolith organs) of the inner ear (labyrinth) itself. Labyrinthitis is sometimes also termed “vertigo with sudden hearing loss” (Pogson, Taylor et al. 2016, Kim, Choi et al. 2018) – and we will discuss sudden hearing loss further in a moment. Labyrinthitis usually manifests with severe dizziness (similar to vestibular neuritis) accompanied by ear symptoms on one side (typically hearing loss and tinnitus).

  • Hearing Loss, Vertigo and Tinnitus
    HEARING LOSS, VERTIGO AND TINNITUS Jonathan Lara, DO April 29, 2012 Hearing Loss Facts S Men are more likely to experience hearing loss than women. S Approximately 17 percent (36 million) of American adults report some degree of hearing loss. S About 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 children in the United States are born deaf or hard-of-hearing. S Nine out of every 10 children who are born deaf are born to parents who can hear. Hearing Loss Facts S The NIDCD estimates that approximately 15 percent (26 million) of Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 have high frequency hearing loss due to exposure to loud sounds or noise at work or in leisure activities. S Only 1 out of 5 people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wears one. S Three out of 4 children experience ear infection (otitis media) by the time they are 3 years old. Hearing Loss Facts S There is a strong relationship between age and reported hearing loss: 18 percent of American adults 45-64 years old, 30 percent of adults 65-74 years old, and 47 percent of adults 75 years old or older have a hearing impairment. S Roughly 25 million Americans have experienced tinnitus. S Approximately 4,000 new cases of sudden deafness occur each year in the United States. Hearing Loss Facts S Approximately 615,000 individuals have been diagnosed with Ménière's disease in the United States. Another 45,500 are newly diagnosed each year. S One out of every 100,000 individuals per year develops an acoustic neurinoma (vestibular schwannoma).

  • Spectrum of Third Window Abnormalities: Semicircular Canal Dehiscence and Beyond

Curtin ABSTRACT SUMMARY: Third window abnormalities are defects in the integrity of the bony structure of the inner ear, classically producing sound-/ pressure-induced vertigo (Tullio and Hennebert signs) and/or a low-frequency air-bone gap by audiometry. Specific anatomic defects include semicircular canal dehiscence, perilabyrinthine fistula, enlarged vestibular aqueduct, dehiscence of the scala vestibuli side of the cochlea, X-linked stapes gusher, and bone dyscrasias. We discuss these various entities and provide key examples from our institutional teaching file with a discussion of symptomatology, temporal bone CT, audiometry, and vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials.

    PRACTICE | CLINICAL IMAGES Positive perilymph fistula test with semicircular canal dehiscence from cholesteatoma Ming-Chih Hsieh MD, Chen Chi Wu MD PhD, Shih-Hao Wang MD n Cite as: CMAJ 2019 January 28;191:E104. doi: 10.1503/cmaj.180799 54-year-old man presented to our outpatient department with left-side hearing loss and tinnitus that had progressed for several years. The patient had vertigo with nausea, whichA was aggravated on applying pressure over the left external ear canal and tragus. Physical examination showed left-side tym- panic membrane retraction with a whitish mass at the epitympa- num, suggestive of cholesteatoma. Gently compressing the left-ear tragus induced apparently left-beating horizontal nystagmus (see video, Appendix 1, available at www.cmaj.ca/lookup/suppl/ doi:10.1503/cmaj.180799/-/DC1), consistent with a positive peri- lymph fistula test. Pure tone audiometry showed mixed-type hear- ing loss of 104 dB in the patient’s left ear and sensorineural hearing loss of 62 dB in his right. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) scan of the patient’s temporal bone showed a soft-tissue mass in his left middle ear and mastoid cavity with left lateral semicircular canal erosion (Appendix 2, available at www.cmaj.ca/lookup/suppl/ Figure 1: Microscopic view of left lateral semicircular canal dehiscence with doi:10.1503/cmaj.180799/-/DC1).
